SXSW

I have just returned from one of the best and most strange and exciting and exhausting weekends of my life. I was at SXSW with my my very gracious pals in Bodies of Water. I will give a more in depth review and description in the near future, but right now I would rather be eating a burrito with Jen, since I haven't seen her in about a week. To hold you over till then, here's a list of the bands I saw play:

-Bodies of Water
-Bowerbirds
-J Mascis
-These New Puritans
-Peter Moren
-Times New Viking
-Phosphorescent
-Bon Iver
-Evangelicals
-Jens Lekman
-Black Mountain
-Le Loup
-Port O'Brien
-Antitem
-Atlas Sound
-Be Your Own Pet
-Thurston Moore
-N.E.R.D.
-F*** Buttons
-Delta Spirit
-Wooden Shjips
-Howlin' Rain
-Kevin Barnes
-Holy F***
-Yeasayer
-No Age
-Islands
-The Breeders
-Nadja
-Deadly Syndrome
-Eat Skull

I saw some bands twice. The vast majority of these shows were awesome and I was totally stoked to see them but there were a few that were seriously bad and made me want those moments of my life back. I'll leave you to guess which were which.
